خیالش با مہ و انجم نشیندنگاہش ن سوی پروین ببیند
His thoughts dwell in lofty company with moon and stars —
اس کے خیالات بلندی میں چاند تاروں کے ہم نشیں ہیں —
دل بیتاب خود را پیش او نہدم او رعشہ از سیماب چیند
Lay your restless heart before Rumi —
That his breath can strip tremors from quicksilver.
اپنا بے تاب اور مضطرب دل رومی کے سامنے پیش کر —
کیونکہ اس کا دم پارے سے کپکپی اور بے قراری چھین لیتا ہے ۔
